I posted this piece of amboyna some years back. Finally made it around to finishing it into a playing instrument.
Very hard to bring myself to make any cuts into this piece. Probably why it took so long to finish.
Finally settled on just letting Mother Nature show off some of her best.
The final cut was showing just a few of the smallest black inclusions on this golden behemoth.
Enjoy!

Beautiful, Dave!

Has anyone here who owns a snooker table, or any other table, ever used the process that's in the video? If so, how'd it go?

Bulletproof Billiards has been sold to Koda Sports. You can still get them from Koda and other online retailers. They should have them back on Amazon and Bulletprooftips.com soon! Thanks!

So if I hold everything still except my forearm, contracting my biceps doesn’t “make it go”? What else is needed?

Nothing else is needed....for a mediocre, at best, stroke with low cue power and poor speed control.

Good news is, that even if you are working around an oversimplified model of your stroke, your subconscious mind will save you from yourself and you will still utilize more than just that one muscle...which isn't even the biceps as Bob pointed out earlier, it's the brachialis, unless you want to turn your wrist over, then it's the biceps.

i really prefer the nine ball format as it takes away the advantage of pattern play that the chinese and uk 8 ball guys have,
might be a chance for snooker players and american players to level up a little
